Fabregas has Arsenal in his heart but intends to dash their dreams in Chelsea double chase

The Blues midfielder will be forever grateful to the Gunners for all that they have done for him, but is determined to beat them in the FA Cup final

Cesc Fabregas admits the FA Cup final is “not an ordinary game” for him, but he is putting his Arsenal ties to one side as he chases double glory with Chelsea.

The World Cup winner was offered his big break by the Gunners, having joined their academy system from Barcelona as a youngster.

Eight years as a senior star in north London delivered more than 300 appearances, but the 30-year-old has been back in England with Chelsea since 2014 and has helped them to two Premier League titles.
